Hello,

I hope this is the right group to post - apologies otherwise.

I am going the walls of the room of my son. The harware store suggested
using silicone-containing water based paint, claiming it is easier to
clean by wiping. Although this sounds attractive, I am not sure how
"healthy" silicone is to be used in a child's room's painting.

Probably only dangerous if you spray it.

It might "perform" just a bit too well. Not only wouldn't dirt
stick, any new paint wouldn't, either.
